Review on πŸ’‘ Belkin 6-Outlet Home and Office Surge Protector: Essential Power Filtration, 4ft Cord, 700 Joules - Black by Lance Levatte

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, but with a caveat

This surge protector has several advantages: it's cheap, the cables come in a variety of lengths, and the power switch is almost impossible to accidentally flip. However, it also has a major downside that prevents me from fully recommending it: There's no way to tell at a glance whether it's on or off, which is an unfortunate omission when most surge protectors have lighted switches and /or have status indicators. This is very annoying in some applications (e.g. I use it as the main switch for devices that are difficult to switch off individually). However, I understand that I have an edge case and for the 99.9% of people who never need to turn off their power strips, this is a great and inexpensive "set and forget" solution that will give you peace of mind. Surge protection and reliable power switch.

Pros
  • Minimizes interference for a clean signal
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
